Thrilling Saturday non-ES/GS/MS report, see man:

 

Dragged Mini-B. from his online gaming to accompany our GS-ing, grouse wee man.

Mini-B. sullen and silent in the T-B.-mobile, typical attitude of wee man.

Asked him questions about his gaming, inquire we of wee man.

Didn't understand a word of his energetic, garrulous response, out-of-shell wee man.

However, brightened him up, accurately predictive man.

 

Lunch was 2 monster breakfast sandwiches (us) & almost 2 Jumbo Jacks (Mini-B.), ingest we & wee man.

After lunch, we postponed nap to mow front lawn, stay ahead of monsoons man.

After mowing, showered & napped, zzz we man.

 

Called tyre* guy regarding new tyres* for T-B.-mobile, necessary man.

    *British spelling, only one allowed here man

Dragged Mini-B. from his online gaming to accompany our tyre purchase, grouse wee man.

Promised him 2 bribes, mollify wee man.

Got Many (2+2) Mastercraft Stratus AS tyres (Many/ManyRMany) for a handsome price, see man:

$Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 - ([2x2x2]-2-2), drive-out price man.

 

Took Mini-B. to Big Lots as part of first bribe, promised one item of choice man.

After kidding us that he wanted one of everything in the store, Mini-B. picked a $1 item, anticlimax man.

Used Many%-off (2x2x2x2+2+2%-off) coupon on that plus mostly miu** stuff, thrifty we man.

    **T-B.'s cat, miu man

 

Then took Mini-B. for ice cream, Dairy Queen man.

Debated purchase of din-din along with it, past that time man.

Mini-B. reasoned that we should get the Blizzard Meal, logical wee man.

We could eat the burger and have the soft drink, said wee to we man.

He would eat the fries, Blizzard, and the leftover portion of lunch's Jumbo Jack, said wee to we man.

This worked out well and fillingly, ingest we and wee man like Two Guys***, si man.

 

***The TWO GUYS mantra, repeated twice weekly man:

       We're TWO GUYS, si man!

       We eat WHAT we want, WHEN we want, si man!

       We fart WHEREVER we want, WHENEVER we want, si man!

       We leave the (pre-owned) toilet seat UP, si man!

       And, in this casa, no GIRL can tell us what to do -- not even Mommy, no man!

Sorry to crash this party, but hi! I am a refugee from CEHST, where we had our general chit chat thread closed. Um, I may be the reason it was closed, so I will try my best not to get this one closed too. :innocent: Anyway, I was sent here as a possible new home for my ramblings so... hello! 

Hello! Ramble away, and we will try to find your ramblings between TBone's many posts ..err, many POTS posts? Something like that. :P

As we write this, it is July Many'th (2x2x2x2+2th), see ma'am.

Is July Manyteenth a new holiday?  

 

POTS day perhaps?

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

Sorry to crash this party, but hi! I am a refugee from CEHST, where we had our general chit chat thread closed. Um, I may be the reason it was closed, so I will try my best not to get this one closed too. :innocent: Anyway, I was sent here as a possible new home for my ramblings so... hello! 

WElcome to the thread. If Tbone's rambling haven't shut us down I'm sure you'll be fine.

Thank you. I have learned a very good skill from being married to two men, in fairly rapid succession: how to tune them out. :D
